2. What's the proper way to read /usr/share/doc/mutt/NEWS.Debian.gz?
I used: # cd /usr/share/doc/mutt/ # gunzip NEWS.Debian.gz # vi NEWS.Debian
It worked but it seems there should be some sort of tool.
Others have pointed out zless (or even just "less" by itself, check out man lesspipe), but the package apt-listchanges is also useful for finding out that there is something to read:
Description: Display change history from .deb archives apt-listchanges is a tool to show what has been changed in a new version of a Debian package, as compared to the version currently installed on the system. It does this by extracting the relevant entries from the Debian changelog file, and the NEWS.Debian file.
